Endometriosis is a very common disease in pre-menopausal women, where defective metabolism of steroid hormones plays an important role in its development and promotion. In the present study, we have examined the expression of 11 estrogen an…

Lowering local estradiol concentration by inhibition of the estradiol-synthesizing enzyme 17beta-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase type 1 (17beta-HSD1) has been proposed as a promising new therapeutic option to treat estrogen-dependent diseases …

Progestins are successfully used in the treatment of endometriosis; however, the exact mechanisms of their action are still unsolved. We here focused on the effect of different progestins on parameters of extracellular matrix degradation an…

Disorders of estrogen-responsive tissues are frequently associated with aberrations in steroid metabolism due to altered expression of synthesizing and metabolizing enzymes. For instance, overexposure to unopposed 17beta-estradiol has been …

BACKGROUND: Estradiol (E(2)) is an important promoter of the growth of both eutopic and ectopic endometrium. The findings with regard to the expression and activity of steroidogenic enzymes in endometrium of controls, in endometrium of endo…

The estradiol-synthesizing enzyme 17beta-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase type 1 (17betaHSD1) is mainly responsible for the conversion of estrone (E1) to the potent estrogen estradiol (E2). It is a key player to control tissue levels of E2 and …
